But, on Oct. 20, an ad hoc - committee will be looking at the feasibility of constructing a per- manent recreational facility in Sid- ney for local youth. Developing programs and per- manent recreational facilities for young people on the Saanich » * Peninsula is a key that can open many doors to the future, Coun. Brenda Harfield said Friday.
